The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1887-10-07

For the past two years lola had done
q better fall and winter business than
any other town In the county, and the
reason of it was simply that we adver-
used more. If we are to keep the
trade we have got to continue the
advertising. The harder times are the
more necessary this il. If people only
have little money We must induce
more people to come here. And the
way to do that il to advertise. No
matter how much the papers may say
editorially about this being the best
place in the county to trade-ard the
lola papers certainly do their duty in
that line-people want to hear some
thing from the business men them
selves. They want to know what they
have got to sell and at what price they
sell it. When people have only got a
few dollars to spend they will travel
a long way to save few cents. There
may be 1.-TWO words for ourself'' in all
this, but there is certainly one good
strong word for the best interests of
our city.
The Courdnt wants to know what
the REGISTER thinks about the decis-
ion of a republican Judge, excluding
colored children from the public schools
of Fl. Scott. In the first place Judge
French was not elected as the repub-
lican candidate, but ran independent
and received democratic support. In
the second place one eighth of all the
children attending the public schools
in Fort Scott are c0lored, and one of
the most respected graduates of the
High School last June was a cOlored
girl. In the third place Judge French's
decision did not exclude cOlored chill
dren from the public schools. 1t simply
held that the school board had supreme
in the matter and could do
as it chose. The C0urant, az usual we
regret to say, has gone Off half-cocked.
"Miss Herndon is a beautiful, di-
vinely formed woman, with play
that has no earthly excuse for exis.
tence," was the comment made by tho
K. c. Journal upon the Commercial
Tourists Brides" and it said it about
all. The Opera House was packed
Tuesday night,-proving that lola is a
good show town when there is pros
pect of good show. And the show
was good SO far as the actors were con-
,erned. The parts were all well TAX
an, some of them very well taken but
he play as the Journal remarks, has
no excuse for existence. 1t is certain
y not instructive or elevating and it is
.oo absurd to be very amusing. WEI
hope next time Miss HerndOn and her
company come this way they will
nave play more worthyof their excel
ept ability.
On Friday evening last, when re.
turning from Humboldt, Messrs
Knight & Foust met with quite o Sc
.ious accident. About mile this side
If Humboldt their team took fright
md started to run. The sudden jerk
broke the check of one of the lines, and
Mr.. Foust, thinking the team beyond
control jumped out. Mr.. Knight held
INTO the lines until a little bridge was
crossed when he was thrown to the
ground. Both gentlemen were badly
bruised, but sustained no serious in.
uries. The team was found next
in a farmers yard about four
niles this side of Humboldt, and
trange to say neither horses nor We
licle suffered any apparent damage,
he cushions of the seats even not hav-1
ng been lost. N
For three hundred years or therea.
,outs, the world has been believing |
hat a man by the name of William |
wrote certain theatrical |
lays that are still extant. Certain
uriOus people now claim, however,
hat the plays were not written by |
shakespeare, but by Lord Bacon, and |
ne of them. Ignatius Donelly, has
written big book to prove it. We
ion't know that it makes any differ
nee who wrote the plays. Whoever
lid it is very likely dead now. But
he REGISTER desires to keep its read
RI posted on all the questions that are
living rise to much discussion, and so
ublishes on the last page a very good
tatement of the BacOniOn side of the
rgument.
1t affords us much pleasure to be
this week to withdraw the
Iame of A. H. Brown as an independ- |
MT candidate for sheriff. Mr.. Brown
ooked the field over carefully and be-
anne convinced that the only result of
lis candidacy, if it had any result,
you'd be to elect the democratic nom-
nee. He therefore withdrew from the
ace, with thanks to those who had
endered him their support, And he
cts an example that we trust Mr..
Warner will see the wisdom of fol-
owing.
The REGISTER seems to think that Mr.. War
ected for register Of deeds. Brother Scott is
listaken in his man.-Dsmocrdt.
If we are mistaken there are a good
1any of Mr.. Warmers friends who
-ould be glad to fluid it out. Is Mr..
7Ould seem to intimate, with no ex-
of being elected himself, but
u. the sole and only purpose of de-
eating the regular republican nom
nee? We cannot believe it.
